Charbrie’s in Waterloo – Restaurantica

Finally ate at Charbrie’s last night, à la C + J’s invite. Got the chance to act out a Crown Royal commercial, as we got dressed up and ordered some of the most expensive food and drink I’ve seen in a while (we drank a 1999 Château Neuf-du-Pape).
It was a nice time. I was particularly impressed by the custom-made caesar salads and the baked brie. I was somewhat impressed by the grilled tofu. I would have been more impressed by it, had it been actually grilled. Something about soggy tofu which turns me right off. The entrée itself was nice, and I’ve had much much worse. I would have done this dish with thinner slices of firmer tofu, and grilled it (or seared it) until there was a light crust. I think I would have also used a saltier, or possibly sweeter balsamic sauce than the one they provided.
I really liked the atmosphere, and the attention the staff gave us. I’d certainly go again, and I’m a cheap bastard.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
